Developed in conjunction with renowned
colourists and a leading industrial design
house, the Precision panel is the nextgeneration integrated control surface
for Nucoda grading solutions.
The Precision panel maximizes
creativity through efficient and
innovative navigation, while retaining
the stylish look and feel required in
modern grading suites.
Combining new touch-screen
operation alongside traditional control
elements, Precision offers features and
functionality unavailable from any other
generic or integrated grading panel.
Modular And Ergonomic Design
Precision has been designed by colourists,
for colourists.
Like its well-regarded Valhall predecessor, Precision
is comprised of three separate panel units - Colour,
Touch and Transport – allowing operators to create
an optimised setup to suit their own environment
and preferred ways of working.
Precision offers a new sleek low-profile combined
with a hard wearing, non-glare surface that ensures
a superior look and feel. All rotary controls, buttons
and joysticks are of the highest manufacturing
quality and were selected to provide a long life
and precise control.
The brightness and colour of all illuminated controls
can be adjusted to better suit the ambient conditions
of a DI suite, as well as providing colour-coded State
and Mode indications that are fully configurable
by the operator.
Precision also provides dimmable script lights along
each side of the panels, as well as built-in audio
feedback that offers an additional level of configurable
response and user control.
The touch-screen tablet with menu control
Optimised Control for Intuitive Creativity
A unique combination of touch-screens plus
traditional pushbutton and joystick controllers
now enables colourists to enjoy immediate access
to all of Nucoda’s powerful tools, thereby letting
them focus on creativity.
The five touch-screens built into the fully-configured
Precision provide the operator with a revolutionary
world of menu navigation, image manipulation and
instrument control, with the potential of having
different tools in use simultaneously.
Easily accessed on-screen Help functions combined
with continuous visual feedback and intuitive layout,
offers seasoned Nucoda users the ultimate grading
experience and eases the transition from other
user surfaces.
All three panels, Colour, Touch and Transport,
feature high-resolution touch-screens for interface
display. Tool selection requires a simple touch on
the appropriate screen. The ability to lock screens
together allows tools and layers to remain in sync,
layer names appear directly on the screens users
are always sure which layers they are updating.
Each screen features a dedicated joystick that
enables easy selection, plus additional layer and
shape navigation. Rotary controls and rocker
switches below each screen control discrete
functions, with user-definable colour settings.

quick entry.
Layer selection drives the appropriate Touch screen for controls.
Screen selection is controlled by user preference.
Modifiers
Three buttons - Control, Shift and Alt - provide modifier functionality
to almost every button for extending commands such as Layer insertion,
thereby greatly increasing user control.
Numeric Keypad

to shots with any of the four play-heads for playback or comparison.
Joysticks
In addition to a joystick associated with the top-level screens,
a second joystick can be used for the navigating of layers and tracks.
Each trackball and ring features individual buttons for bypassing
changes, as well as keys for separately resetting the trackballs and rings.
All trackball/ring settings can be reset with a single button push.
Monitoring tools provide quick access to head-up displays,
histograms, grids, cms and masks, plus the switching of project
image formats.
Comparison modes provide quick access to Nucoda compare modes,
event, track, note, head, group source and revert.
Together with the usual colour tools, RGB curves are also accessible
through the trackball/ring interface.
The screen also features a full keyboard and an extensive online
interactive Help screen.
